Honor MagicBook is an $800 MacBook Air Clone That Comes with an NVIDIA MX150 GPU

In addition to the flagship Honor 10 smartphone, Honor is today also taking the wraps off its first ultrabook. Called the “Magicbook”, it’s a traditional laptop with a 14-inch screen and a lightweight design that weighs only 1.47kg.

The Honor MagicBook, as the name suggests, borrows most of its design inspirations from Apple’s MacBook lineup. There’s a full-size backlit keyboard which has a travel of 1.3mm and is flanked by speaker grills. It’s powered by Intel’s 8th-generation Core i7 and i5 chipsets and even has an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2GB graphics card.

Honor says it has made a slew of optimizations including a larger fan for preventing the slim computer from overheating. It can last more than ten hours on a single charge. It’s compatible with Dolby Atmos sound system as well. It comes with the latest Windows 10 update and even has a software feature called “Magic-Link” which can automatically lock or unlock the computer depending on your phone’s location.

MagicBook’s power key also houses a fingerprint sensor. It features a standard USB Type-A and a Type-C port as well. However, for charging, you will have to employ a proprietary cable. The Honor MagicBook is priced at 4,999 Yuan (~Rs 53,000) for the i5 variant and 5,699 Yuan (~Rs 60,000) for i7. It will be available for pre-order starting from this month’s 19th and will go on sale from the 23rd. The first batch of customers will be also eligible for a discount of 200 Yuan.
